    No, he's just a bad coach.

    I wish he did, at least that way we have an excuse to move on from him.

    I respect that , I hope you are right. I hope he's just a bad coach.

    they hired him specifically to coach like ****. similar to silas but he fronts it with a biased discipline strategy as if he’s doing the franchise any favors, he is against development. and is not a winner. MF is a born loser and a shitty role player during his tenure. Constantly has bad body language, scowls and curses at players and the officials. I hate “it”. he is no man just an object in the way of talents. literally the biggest pos I’ve ever seen. Emu Dooki

    I think he is more mediocre than he thinks of himself......he is real good motivator and defensive assistant.

    In game, time outs, adjustments, do not seem to suggest he is a good overall coach.

    Somehow his teams overperform in the regular season.

    Yes. If he can beat the pistons in a b2b with half the roster there’s no reason to believe this sick **** can’t beat the clippers on a b2b

    There is no 4d chess going on. He really is a bad coach.

    Ime does not have counter moves. One of the main reasons for several collapses this season.

    I've been suspecting this for a bit. Prop betting needs to get shot into the sun.

    I do not believe he loses intentionally rather it is simply he has zero idea how to run an offense or make adjustments. He simply is not a good coach.

    He's just someone who would rather lose going with his gut than do the smart thing.

    Imagine someone who is one part Dusty Baker and one part Kevin McHale who thinks they are Pop.

    I'd actually respect him more if he WAS throwing games as a sketchy gambler. I think he just genuinely is that ****ing bad a coach. Incredible culture setter, but he's clearly the reset guy, not the win it all guy.

    They are using this year as a development year for Amen and Reed.
